Mr. Jim Meade:

On the Limerick Shannon metropolitan area transport strategy, the timeline to deliver is probably two years. The network line comprises the existing Ennis line which goes towards University of Limerick and swings out over the Shannon Bridge, via Moyross and Limerick Institute of Technology. That line is in service.

On the other side of the city, we have a line that used to go to Foynes but it is not being used. Off that, there is a line which goes down to Castlemungret, the old cement factory, that runs by a major shipping centre, some large residential areas and is within walking distance of the University Hospital Limerick. This is strategically placed to be of great benefit to the local communities and local industries.
